Skin disorders constitute a major proportion of global disease burden, affecting individuals physically, psychologically, and socially. In Ayurveda, all dermatological disorders are comprehensively described under the broad umbrella of Kushtha, which includes both Mahakushtha and Kshudra Kushtha. Unlike the symptomatic and often suppressive approach of modern dermatology, Ayurveda places strong emphasis on prevention through regulation of diet (Ahara), lifestyle (Vihara), ethical conduct (Achara Rasayana), seasonal regimen (Ritucharya), daily regimen (Dinacharya), and avoidance of etiological factors (Nidana Parivarjana). Classical Ayurvedic texts highlight that Kushtha is a Tridoshaja Vyadhi with predominant involvement of Rakta, Rasa, Mamsa and Lasika, and is listed among Ashta Mahagada, emphasizing its chronicity and recurrence.This review aims to critically analyze the preventive aspects of skin disorders with special reference to Kushtha, correlating Ayurvedic principles with modern preventive dermatology. Literary material was collected from classical Ayurvedic texts, contemporary Ayurvedic journals, and modern dermatological literature. Preventive strategies such as dietary regulation, lifestyle modification, psychosocial balance, seasonal adaptation, and detoxification measures are discussed in detail. The review concludes that Ayurveda offers a robust, holistic, and sustainable preventive framework for skin disorders, which is highly relevant in the present era of lifestyle-induced dermatoses.
